1. YES, THERE IS SHIPPING AND IT IS THE SAME FLAT RATE
One flat rate to every country we ship to, whether you order one pair or twelve. It does not scale with your basket and nothing gets added after it. We would rather show it at checkout than bury it in a higher price per pair.
2. IT LEAVES WITHIN 1 TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS
Your order is picked and dispatched within one to three business days, and the tracking number lands in your inbox the moment it ships. From there it is 5 to 12 business days on most routes, up to 20 on the longest ones. No guessing — you can follow it.
3. ORDER YOUR NORMAL SHOE SIZE THERE IS NOTHING TO WORK OUT
The size guide runs on your everyday shoe size, nothing clever. Between two sizes, or a wide foot, size up. If it is wrong when it arrives you have 30 days to send it back for an exchange or a refund, no questions asked.
4. TRY THEM ON A REAL SHIFT NOT ON THE CARPET
Thirty days, worn or washed. Put them through the days that actually hurt — the long one, the wet one, the one on concrete. If your feet are no better at the end of it, you send them back and we refund you. Washing them does not void anything.
5. IF THEY TEAR INSIDE A YEAR WE REPLACE THE PAIR FREE
Send a photo and your order number, that is the whole process. No proof of purchase hunting, no return shipping, no argument. Heel and toe are double-knit nylon precisely because those are the two places socks die first.

“Ten hours on concrete and my feet used to be killing me by the end. First socks that actually change that. The old ones went in the bin.”
“I had a drawer of socks with holes in the toes. These have been through the wash every week since spring and look the same.”
“Tried insoles, tried the expensive socks. This is the one that stopped my feet aching by noon. Bought three more pairs.”
“I bought them for the twelve-hour days and stayed for the fact they come off dry. I have not thought about my feet in a month.”
Specs & thickness
Made of 46.4% nylon · 43.2% polyester · 8.5% elastodiene · 1.9% spandex.
Not made of 0% cotton. 0% wool. Nothing in here soaks up sweat or itches — that is the whole point.
Cushion Zoned, not uniform. Dense under the heel and the ball of your foot, where the ground hits. Thin across the instep and the top of the foot.
In a shoe Built to add cushion under your foot, not bulk over it — so the padding sits where you stand on it, not where your laces close.
Care Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. In with everything else.

Shipping is calculated at checkout. Orders leave within 1–3 business days and you get a tracking number by email.

Frequently asked questions
I am on my feet all day but not on a building site — is this still for me?
Yes. It is not about the trade, it is about the hours and the floor. Warehouse, kitchen, bakery, ward, workshop, van, shop floor — if you are standing, walking and bending on something hard for eight hours or more, this was built for your day.
Can these handle 8–12 hours on my feet?
That is what they were built for. The cushioning is zoned — dense pads under the heel and the ball of the foot, exactly where a hard floor hits hardest, and thin everywhere else so it never packs out your shoe.
Will they stay up all day?
Yes. A wide ribbed cuff holds without digging a red ring into your calf, a deep heel pocket and a back pull-tab lock your heel in, and the arch-lock band stops the sock sliding down inside the shoe. It is the point our customers mention most.
My feet sweat a lot in closed shoes. Will these help?
They will. There is no cotton and no wool in them — those are the fibres that soak up sweat and hold it against your skin. Nylon and polyester barely absorb anything, they move moisture out instead, and mesh panels over the top of the foot vent it.
Will they actually hold up, or wear through like the rest?
Heel and toe are double-knit nylon, the two places socks die first — and we put it in writing. Tear a hole inside a year and we replace the pair free.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, straight in with everything else. No hand-washing, no hang-drying, no special soap.
